Hemmed Up

HEMMED UP is a punk rock band hailing from the mean streets of the Bay Area in Northern California,. It takes a lot to cut through the white noise in an area that is so culturally and musically prolific, and hemmed up achieves just that with songs about life on a road less traveled, dealing with self inflicted wounds, and commiserating about good times and bad. All of this, backed by a charged blend of outlaw music, ska, and punk, sets the stage for rowdy crowd participation and a truly memorable show! Only bonafide punks should be able to play punk rock, and only bonafide outlaws should be able to play outlaw music, and HEMMED UP checks all the boxes! Whiskey fueled and gritty lyrics backed by insane bass lines, shit hot guitar licks, and drum beats that would make Animal from the muppet’s head spin! This all lends perfectly to the anthemic, anti-authoritarian, Robin Hood mentality that their music has to offer…. There are 1312 reasons to love Hemmed Up! New full length album is available digitally 6/25/24.

Hemmed up has played many headline shows, and has shared the stage with an ever growing list of touring and regional bands like Get Dead, Jen Pop (from the bombpops), Hunting Lions, Surprise Privilege, Öil!, Fox Medicine, The Quitters, and many more!
